Where an end frame fits in a workplace
An end frame can help give a freestanding storage run a more complete appearance at an exposed side. It may be useful when planning office storage along a wall, dividing an open work area, or creating a defined end to a group of cabinets. In each case, the frame should be considered as part of the overall arrangement, rather than selected independently from the cabinets it is intended to accompany.
Start by mapping the storage run and identifying the exposed end. Note which direction the layout faces and whether the frame needs to finish the right-hand side. This provides a practical basis for comparing the Right-Hand 2 and Right-Hand 3 models without assuming their numeric labels indicate dimensions or capacity.
How to choose between Right-Hand 2 and 3
Check the intended layout
Use the full model name when comparing options with a floor plan, existing furniture schedule, or cabinet specification. The shared right-hand designation is relevant to orientation, while the 2 and 3 distinguish the two listed formats. If the name alone does not make the match clear, confirm the required format with the person responsible for the cabinet layout before placing an order.
Check the available size and finish
Height values in the collection attributes include 86, 127, 128 and 169 cm. These values should not be treated as interchangeable or assumed to apply to every model. Confirm the height shown for the exact option you intend to use and compare it with adjacent cabinets. The listed side panels have a Vicenza oak finish, and the frame is described as anodised; the Right-Hand 2 excerpt specifies a matt anodized finish. Check the selected model’s details if a close visual match matters.
Plan the specification before ordering
Collection information also lists a 5 cm width, 44 cm depth, metal cabinet material, cylinder lock, and no hanging folder frames. Because an end frame is a component, do not assume every cabinet-level attribute describes the frame itself. Confirm which details apply to the cabinet and which apply to the selected frame, especially where security, storage function, or precise alignment affects your plan.
Colour attributes include beige, black, green, grey, blue, brown, orange, red, white and wood. Treat these as collection-level options and check the individual model selection for the finish actually offered. If you are coordinating more than one cabinet, review the colour and side-panel finish together rather than relying on a colour name alone.
What to check next
Before finalising a workplace storage plan, verify the required right-hand format, height, finish and relationship to adjoining cabinets. Check any relevant lock requirement against the cabinet specification, and make sure the frame suits the intended freestanding arrangement. Myntwork offers these OKA products on a monthly lease, which can be considered alongside the wider furniture plan.
Frequently asked questions about OKA Cabinet End Frame
What is the difference between the Right-Hand 2 and Right-Hand 3 end frames?
The family includes two formats identified by those model names. Both are described as right-hand freestanding cabinet end frames. Check the planned cabinet arrangement or specification to confirm which format is intended; the number alone does not establish a dimension or capacity.
How do I choose the right-hand orientation?
Identify the exposed end of the cabinet arrangement and its orientation in your floor plan. Compare that layout with the right-hand designation in the model name, and ask the person preparing the furniture plan to confirm the match if the viewing direction is unclear.
Do both models have the same finish?
Both descriptions refer to anodised frames and Vicenza oak-finish side panels. The Right-Hand 2 description specifically calls its frame finish matt anodized. Check the individual option details if an exact finish match is important.
Which heights and colours can I choose?
The collection attributes list heights of 86, 127, 128 and 169 cm, as well as several colour options. These are collection-level details, so confirm which sizes and finishes are available for the particular model you plan to order.
Does the cylinder lock apply to the end frame?
A cylinder lock is listed in the collection attributes, but that does not confirm it is a feature of the end frame itself. Check the specification of the cabinet configuration you are ordering to determine where the lock applies.
